Pros
Some of the faculty are really great people. Not sure that is a sufficient reason to do research here.
Cons
This institution is heavily weighed down by administration, who in general wield much power but aren't motivated to work efficiently since it is a state-run institution. Sadly, this is reflected in the quality of research compared to more influential institutions in the Texas Med. Center such as Baylor College of Medicine, Rice University, and Methodist Hospital. While there is a lot of great research going on here by faculty, administrative procedures and policies hinder efficiency and cross-institutional collaboration.
